The rubbery little toy that kids use to obtain imprints of comic strips was used on Apollo 8 in 1968 to help fasten down tools in zero gravity and to alleviate boredom. More than 4 500 tons of Silly Putty (or 300 million eggs of it) have been sold since its launch in 1950. It has even been used to relieve stress and to make casts of gorillas' hands and feet at the Chicago Zoo.
Leonardo da Vinci wrote his notebook entries as mirror images.
